Hi everybody! I hope everyone is staying safe. I’m not celebrating any holidays in person this year buuuut if I was I would be wearing this dress. One of my favorite things to do as a child was play dress up. I still enjoy that even if I have nowhere to be right now.

I can’t deny what my heart desires. For the pattern I used McCall’s 7654 in the strapless view and fabrics I bought at…

DIY button dress using M7406
Hi guys! Today I’m showing you my latest pattern hack. After seeing so many button dresses online I thought this would be a fun DIY. Who doesn’t love a good wrap dress? Well, I am sure there are some people but maybe the button detail can convince non-lovers. For my dress pattern I used McCall’s pattern M7406 although you could apply this concept to any wrap dress pattern. When I visit my mom in Arizona we go out and do the touristy things and eat at amazing restaurants. But one of my favorite things to do is go out shopping at thrift stores. During my last visit we were doing…
